Does Mastitis in the past affect a future BA?

Mastitis particularly during pregnancy is fairly common. As long as the condition is quiet there is no contraindication to breast augmentation.

Having a history of mastitis does not preclude or endanger you more for having breast augmentation in the future. And, make sure to keep your surgeon informed of this and all health issues. This information allows your surgeon to provide the best care for you.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

As long as there is no inflammation at the time of the breast augmentation, you should be fine. I agree with staying away from the nipple with the incision and infact the nipples should be covered (occluded) during the procedure.
Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Previous mastitis should not affect a future BA but you may wish to avoid a periareolar incision and go with a breast crease incision to avoid any irritation or inflammation in your areola.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Your history of mastitis should have no effect on your breast augmentation results. A single dose of perioperative antibiotics is typically administered to decrease the chance of infection. 

Thank you for your question.  I don't think that a history of mastitis will affect an augmentation.  The only issue that I could see coming up after augmentation for you would be the presence of scar tissue in the breast gland that could theoretically result in dimples or tethering of the skin as the breast expanded over your implant. Even if this did happen, I would expect it to be easily corrected.Best of luck!

If you have chronic mastitis, this would increase the risk of encapsulation, which would cause a firm breast or even an infection. However, if your mastitis has been treated and is not active, you should be OK.
Submuscular placement of the implants would be important for you as well as antibiotics in the pocket of the implants during surgery as well as diligent no-touch anti-bacterial technique, such as changing to fresh  gloves prior to touching the implants, nipple covers during surgery, repeating the antiseptic soap over the incision site before insetting the implants, etc.
Thank you for your interesting question, and good luck. 

There is no evidence that having mastitis in the past will affect a breast augmentation - although active infection or chronic mastitis or frequently occurring episodes would be a concern. 

Hi-No mastitis should not have any affect on BA as long as there is no active infection present. If you suffer from chronic mastitis then you may have difficulty with a breast augmentation as recurrent infections may result in an implant infection as the implant is a foreign body and require removal. Hope this was helpful information for you. Good Luck! 

I pulled this from WebMD and put it as a reference for you:
"Mastitis is an infection of the tissue of the breast that occurs most frequently during the time of breastfeeding  It can occur when bacteria, often from the baby's mouth enter a milk duct through a crack in the nipple.
Breast infections most commonly occur one to three months after the delivery of a baby, but they can occur in women who have not recently delivered as well as in women after menopause Other causes of infection include chronic mastitis and a rare form of cancer called inflammatory carcinoma."

So as you can see, from a statistical standpoint you do not have any increased risk of an infection due to the fact that women do not breast feed and have implants while breast feeding.  Having said that, there are some conditions that people have that make them prone to developing an infection.  If you want to be very very sure, you may even consult an Infectious Disease Specialist.  This can be done through your primary care doctor.

During the breast augmentation, antibiotics are usually given.  It is very rare to see a post operative breast infection, especially when done beneath the muscle. All of these issues should be brought to the attention of your treating Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
